More than just an April novelty, the system also could be a boon for bone-dry South Florida. Some models morph it into a trough that would move across South Florida next week, bringing rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The low-pressure area “is producing poorly organized shower and thunderstorm activity, (and) upper level winds are expected to become less conducive for development on Friday,” Thursday’s outlook said. “Development of the system, if any, should be slow to occur as it most northwestward to northward at about 10 mph during the next day or two.”
